Politics Feijóo demands to "replace" the crime of sedition after the setback of the Supreme Court to the Government: "This ridicule marks the record"

"It has been proven that Spain has renounced protecting its democracy, eliminating the crime of sedition. The Government has once again made a legal fool of itself trying to benefit the separatists, lowering the penalties for embezzlement and failing to achieve its objective." This is the diagnosis made by Alberto Núñez Feijóo after the Supreme Court ruling that maintains the disqualification of the ERC leader, Oriol Junqueras, and other leaders of the process such as Raül Romeva, Jordi Turull and Dolors Bassa despite the reform of the Penal Code approved by the Government to facilitate their situation.

The Supreme Court has ruled that the disqualification sentence imposed on the convicted, not extinguished because it is not covered by the Government's partial pardon for prison sentences, must not now be replaced by the penalties that the penal reform associates with the new types of crime, such as aggravated public disorder.

That is why the president of the PP has assured, after a breakfast of El Debate starring Alfonso Rueda, president of the Xunta, that "this legal ridicule has already set all the records", after the law of only yes is yes. "I once again reiterate to the Government that we put the legal guarantees of the Rule of Law of Spanish democracy: you have our votes at your disposal to replace the crime of sedition", he assured. "Once the annihilation of the crime of sedition is certified, let's put in the Criminal Code a guarantee of the integrity of the Spanish nation," he added.

"The Supreme Court has clearly said that Spain is unprotected because this crime has ceased to be part of the Criminal Code," Feijóo continued, referring to the sentence, which complains, in effect, that "the creation of a regulatory framework of rupture territory that prepares the secession of a part of the territory of the State, even accompanied by mass acts that lead to the general disobservance of the laws and non-compliance with governmental or jurisdictional decisions that try to put an end to it, would be unrelated to the intervention of criminal law." after the penal reform of the Executive.

Feijóo did not want to answer a question about abortion this Tuesday, referring to a press conference on Wednesday, but he assured that he could not stop commenting on the Supreme Court ruling. "I ask the Government to protect Spanish democracy," Feijóo insisted. "And if the independentistas do not want it, which it is evident that they do not want me to, please use the votes of the constitutionalists to restore the crime of sedition," the leader of the main opposition party reiterated once again.

"After the law of only yes is yes, after the elimination of the crime of sedition, after the attempt to reduce the penalties for embezzlement to those of the procés... at this time in Spain a minimum of calm is required and a minimum of respect for our democracy", Feijóo continued.

Who has given an opinion on the issue of abortion and the new position of the PP has been the mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida. "Entering the framework of the left does not convince me. Before talking about abortion, I talk about life. I talk about the need for pro-life policies. Women must be informed of the options," he told the media. "The position has already been defined by Feijóo", who described the law of deadlines as "correct", Almeida has assured. "I am not going to bait the left on such a complex issue," he added, because "the left seeks confrontation."
